Perennial Day

| 37 Comments | No TrackBacks

I'm trying to fill a sizable flower bed in front of my house with perennials.  The perennials that returned from last year are rosemary, monarda (bee balm), dicentra (bleeding heart), and bloody dock. The echinacea didn't come back this year. This flowerbed is right under my unguttered front porch, so maybe the ground is too wet for echinacea.  That's my theory. 

Today I finally got around to planting most of the perennials that I bought at the farmers' markets a few weeks ago.  I really am terrible about planting plants once I get them - I'm not sure what my problem is!

Today I added these perennials:
  • Gray lavender
  • Bloody Dock (total of 2 now)
  • Valerian
  • Yarrow (red)
  • Blue Vervain
  • Bleeding Heart (total of 2 now)
  • Yarrow ("Moonshine")
I peppered in a few annuals:
  • Sweet Basil
  • Red Basil
  • Another kind of basil
  • 3 Chinese Five Color Peppers
  • 2 Nasturtiums
Some of the plants in the front flower bed:

Some of the herbs I bought are likely to spread all over the place, so I put them all into this pot:

After all of that, I headed to the veggie garden to do some weeding.  The weather was perfect, and I could smell the fragrance of honeysuckle on the breeze.  I wish all of my time weeding could be like it was today!

So the carrots, chard, and shungiku are now (mostly) weed-free.   Next up is to get the weeds out of the onion row and try planting the onions again.  This time I'll keep them watered.

A few more beans sprouted - I think the new ones might actually be the snapped beans. Yay!  Something has been chewing on the bean leaves.  I'm not sure if it's a bug or a mammal. Hmm ...

Christmas is getting nearer and nearer, while people are busy preparing gifts for this big day, or some might have already had everything ready, I am still confused with what kind of gift I am going to buy. But there is one thing can be sure, small accessories like iPhone case, coin purse and classic bags like Celine Luggage Tote and Trapeze Bag should be considered on gift list. People like sending small yet practical gifts like the above small accessories that I mentioned. When preparing for Christmas gift, we should take practicality and actual value of the gift into consideration. So today I am writing to share these little items with you in order to give some advices to the people who haven’t had any idea yet.

It's certainly unbelievably open-handed of people like you giving easily what exactly some people would have distributed as an electronic book to make some cash on their own, mostly seeing that you might have done it in case you desired. Those tricks likewise served to be a easy way to understand that many people have a similar keenness really like mine to figure out great deal more pertaining to this issue.

A silk scarf would be the most appropriate accessory for this season and is easy to go with our outfits and is also said to be an all-in-one companion both for bag and cloth.

Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass' favor.

Simply wanna tell that this is handy , Thanks for taking your time to write this.
